Norwegian Bliss Review

Additional details
I used to love Norwegian. The Epic was my first cruise and I went on several after that before trying Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. One thing I always loved about Norwegian was the value.
That has all changed.
Now everything costs more. Margaritaville has a hamburger I like. When I was on the Breakaway a few years ago I went to Margaritaville every day for lunch. It was like $12 per person. Kind of high but reasonable. Now it’s $15 with a 20% gratuity so that is $18. That hamburger is not an $18 hamburger and lunch for 2 people is not worth $36 and that does not include drinks!
Cabin Review
Aft-facing Balcony Stateroom
The bathroom was spacious and the tile had more traction when it was wet than when it was dry. My wet feet did not slip at all when I was in the shower.
The entry door was automatic and opened with the swipe of my key card – Amazing!
There was an outlet on the wall near my scooter for the battery charger – Amazing!
The room was smaller than what I had on the Getaway and Breakaway.
The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I had ever slept on, it was hard as a rock and I woke up multiple times throughout the night in pain. After 3 days of this hell I talked to guest services and they said they could put a foam topper on. I don’t know if I should praise NCL for having foam toppers available or to scold NCL for having foam toppers because that means they knew their beds are hard. In this case I was grateful a foam topper was available. I still had the worst week of sleep I have ever had on vacation.
